Pet care experience

Grammy in search of doggie love!

I love dogs! All types of dogs! I have 20+ years of experience caring for them and 2 of my own (Sasha the Black Lab and Ellie the American Cattle). My sweet babies love to have company and they will play, play and play! I have fostered Basset Hounds for years and have fostered some super sweet hounds and some hounds from hell but totally loved them all! It is very satisfying to help place a dog in their ”furever” home. I cannot think of a cooler, more rewarding job than to play with dogs all day AND get paid to do it! I am caring, fun, reliable and super enthusiastic. I have great availability and very reasonable pricing and would love caring for your best friend!

Lucy loved going to Karen's house and we would definitely use her again. She loves her border dogs and takes good care of them.

Ms. Karen took care of our baby so we could go out of town as a family. She babies him as bad as we do and that's all you can ask for!!! She Weegie 3rd Mommy. Sorry he didn't give you any room on the couch Ms. Karen to sleep. He's a bed hog. 10 stars across the BOARD.

Karen was amazing with our dog! We were nervous to leave her but Karen made us feel so comfortable. Our dog loved playing with Karen's dogs, too. So happy we found her!!
